Wanting to know news about the Poco F2 PRO? After the launch of Little X2, everyone was looking forward to the next Poco phone for 2020. Since a successor to the Pocophone F1, it was only natural that the company's next release would be the Poco F2.
But now there is the possibility of another Poco phone known as the Poco M2 Pro. The phone has appeared on a Xiaomi India website, and the codename of the phone suggests that it has picked up some specs from the Redmi Note 9 Pro.
Meanwhile, many rumors and leaks about the Poco F2 Pro have surfaced in recent days regarding the leaked price, possible color variants, specifications, and more. Here's everything you need to know about the Poco F2 Pro and the mysterious Poco M2 Pro.
Specifications of the Poco M2 Pro
The mysterious Poco M2 is believed to be a mid-range that will compete with the Samsung Galaxy M31. This is due to its code name, which previously appeared in the source code of the Redmi Note 9 Pro, according to XDA Developers.
Given the specifications of the Note 9 Pro, one can expect the Poco M20 to also have Snapdragon 720G. Even if we're wrong, it will certainly be a mid-range, given that Poco already has a premium phone in the lineup: the Poco F2 Pro.
Specifications of the Poco F2 Pro
We all know that the Poco X2 was nothing more than a rebranded version of the Redmi K30. While Xiaomi never confirmed it, one could easily make out the uncanny similarity in specs.
On this basis, users expected Xiaomi to follow the same strategy with Poco F2. Recently, the speculation turned into reality when a Google Play listing indicated that the Poco F2 would, in fact, be the rebranded version of the Redmi K30.
And this is not the only leak that supports the theory. A report from 91Movil confirms that the phone will come in the same four colors (blue, gray, purple, and white) as the Redmi K30 Pro in China.
If that's not enough, Gearbest, a popular e-commerce website in China, listed a mobile phone from Poco, which appeared to have the same back panel as the Redmi K30 Pro. Another Poco F2 leak hints that the phone will have a charging from 33 W, again the same as Redmi K30 Pro.
Now that we have made the connection between Poco F2 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro, it is safe to say that most (if not all) of the Poco F2 specs will be from Redmi K30.

While there is no word on the Poco M2 Pro launch date, Xiaomi might drop a surprise announcement at the Poco F2 Pro launch event.
Poco M2 Pro and F2 Pro Price
According to the same report we mentioned earlier, the Poco F2 Pro will be priced at €570 for the 128GB model.
But another rumor claims that the price of the 6GB RAM + 128GB variant will be €649 and €749 for the 8GB RAM + 256GB variant.
We will only know the real price at the time of the launch of the Poco F2 Pro. However, it will certainly be lower than this, as Xiaomi devices are usually priced a bit higher in the EU market.
We have no leaks or rumors about the price of Poco M2 Pro for now.
